There was little change in the drought situation across western Colorado through the month. Northwest Colorado remained in a moderate to severe drought. Meanwhile, water year numbers for west-central and southwest Colorado river basins continued to look impressive, improving the situation to abnormally dry or non-drought categories. Although portions of west-central and southwest Colorado were classified as non-drought, it is important to note that water supply concerns both above and below ground continued. Years of withdrawals are tough to overcome with one exceptional snowpack season. For a continuation on this drought situation please see the June 2005 Storm Data Publication.
